    I met Carl about 1983 when his son Carl Herbert worked for us at the USPFO Office. Over the years I see him at various military functions. He was a very well spoken and kind gentleman and will be missed. May he rest in Peace. Condolences to Carl Herbert and the rest of the family on his loss

    I'm so sorry for your loss. MSG Farley was my recruiter when I first enlisted back in 1974. I always remember how hard he worked to get my parents to sign off on letting their 17 year old daughter enlist. He was a great man. I'll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all.
